Shane Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It was actually only a couple of reviews that did not love it in hindsight. Multiple reviews list it as a highlight which it is! Link to post Share on other sites

Raider of the lost Ark Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 People always wanted Madonna to do a torch song. Here it is. I hope she performs it on her coming tour. Link to post Share on other sites

Mooncrown11 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 WOW!! Where did this song come from- I was not expecting this at all! What a beauty! Her vocals and delivery are absolutely stunning throughout but my favorites are the pre-chorus "Somebody teach me how to love" and the way she sings "I'm looking for love" in the chorus is absolutely heavenly (another Karen Carpenter moment @Jazzy Jan) . How was this not on the standard edition along with EO?? For me, it's an essential part of this album and the Madame X journey. It makes me sad that someone might only listen to the standard version and never hear this gem. Just brilliant and gorgeous! I think it may be my favorite at the moment Link to post Share on other sites

boy skeffington Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It’s clear from MDNA and RH the Deluxe is her album (even the cover reflects this) and the omissions for a standard are the record company mandate. This album is 15 tracks. Link to post Share on other sites
